With increased interest in and funding for apprenticeships in the U.S., Switzerland’s world-class apprenticeship model offers lessons for how to build a CTE system that is both appealing to students and valued by industry.

The writer of The Smartest Kids in the World speaks with NCEE’s Jason Dougal about the lessons she’s learned following students studying abroad.

In this Global Ed Talk, NCEE CEO Anthony Mackay speaks with Bob Schwartz, professor at Harvard University and co-founder of the Pathways to Prosperity network, about what America needs to do to update its CTE system to match leading countries around the world.

In this interview, Harvard Graduate School of Education Professor Jal Mehta argues that our current system of schools—designed in the early 20th century industrial era—need to become modern organizations capable of supporting deeper learning for all students.

Mackay and Schleicher discuss the OECD study which explores how students are developing reading skills to navigate the technology filled world of the 21st century.

For the first Global Ed Talks interview of 2021, Anthony Mackay is joined by James Pellegrino, founding co-director of the University of Illinois at Chicago’s (UIC) interdisciplinary Learning Sciences Research Institute, and member of NCEE’s Board of Trustees.

In the final Global Ed Talks of 2020, Anthony Mackay is joined by John White, co-founder and board chairman of Propel America and member of NCEE’s Board of Trustees.
